An estimated 1 million Americans participated in at least 1,000 tea parties, according to reports by organizers tabulating the nationwide numbers, with documented protests held in 50 states.
Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform told WND, "The Obama administration has awakened a sleeping giant."
Tax Day Tea Party national event coordinator Amy Kremer told WND she has confirmed that more than 850 parties took place. She has at least 100 more reports in her e-mail inbox that have not been posted.
Asked how many people attended the events, she responded, "I would estimate it at over 1 million. I'm waiting on more numbers to come in from organizers right now. I can tell you it is absolutely over 750,000 right now."

These BS reports that keep coming in are the reason that we need to organize state chapters quickly and march on our individual state capitols and DC (depending on where you live and what your plans are for that weekend) go to ANY state capitol that you are near for the day of July 4th. They CANNOT “miss” some of the protests if every one of them is located in a state capitol or DC.
While I am sure it will be an inconvenience to many, I am sure our founders were inconvenienced way more, but they managed. We could find out about renting buses to the capitols to make a full day of it. I am sure there are people near the capitols who would be able to get some of the early work done.
Enough of this MSM crap, we don’t need em. Our target is the jerks in office, and who gives a rats butt if they don’t want to cover it or make fun of us. If we never put their channels on- in unity- they won’t be on the air long anyway. Anderson Cooper, that freak, has less viewers than the city of Miami has residents! how long do you think he can stay on the air? Same with obledork, the girl/boy, and tingle dude. They are history and they know it. Fox will cover us, as well as the usuals, and we won’t really need that coverage as the acorn/code pinkers/obamabots see us marching to those capitols they will wet their pants and run back in their govt housing. We WILL win, because we fight for a cause, not a handout!!
Think about it all, lets get this puppy rolling! We did a pretty good job for our first time out I would say. A million + is a pretty good turnout. I have renewed hope in this country; I guess Barack was right, he brought us hope, now lets go get the change...........
That’s why they’re called the “dinosaur media,” and hardly a week goes by some major newsrag doesn’t go belly-up.

500,420 just now!

O Reilly looked like the Cheshire Cat today, proudly proclaiming that for the tea parties, he had more coverage than CNN, CNBC, MSNBC and headline news combined and, I believe 70,000 viewers more to spare. He earned his moment tho I think he is a vascillating blowhard, and I congratulate him!
that lady needs me I can tell
The leftist pinheads are trying to spin this down any way they can.
And of course the number of those attending doesn't even take into account those of us who were there in spirit. So tens of millions...
That is what scares the crap out of politicians. I heard from a congressional rep once, that an email, means little, a phone call or fax, a lot more, a handwritten letter is like 300 constituents opinion, but coming to the office, thats heavy.
If a million people “showed up at the office” by going to a tea party yesterday, that is like, a HUGE number of voter sentiment. They really do need clean underwear about now :)

I’m not surprised about it, but it pisses me off to no end to see pols and lobbyists trying to hitch their wagons to this movement. Especially that scumbag Norquist.
‘anyone’? yep and we are speaking of that same grover norquist who is very heavily involved with the promotion and attempted acceptance around America of that wonderful muslim front organization, C.A.I.R. and also the founder of the ‘islamic studies group’. he is a real sneaky enemy from what I have read. just a few years back he even managed to sit on the board of directors at the NRA!!! (not sure how he pulled that off or if he still is involved there but/and I would have hoped they would have ash canned him by now, the NRA is to great of an organization to have him helping direct agenda).
Agreed. But, my concern is....how much did Norquist have to do with the movement from the ‘get go’? Is he who Pelosi and others were referring to when they say it was not grassroots?
yah...that’s why I’m wondering if there was so much emphasis put on taxes rather than out of control spending!
It’s up to almost 500k with 265 cities.

Well maybe they’re just trying to jump in front of the parade.
This was wayyy to diverse for anyone to coordinate in this short time. If this isn’t grassroots than nothing is. Don’t listen to that witch Pelosi - that BS was to appease her rat buddies and I bet even she doesn’t believe it.
she knows this was real... for her to call it astro turf is ludicrous... she knows these tea parties were nothing like the liberal rallies where attendees are bussed in and paid for... their reactions tell me they know this was the real thing...
Nate Silver of 538.com says the Tea Parties numbered 262,000 nationwide.
If Obama isn’t careful, next time it’ll be 2-million.
Maybe 3-million!
